The 18 Things We're Obsessed With This October

The avalanche of box-fresh sneakers, smart watches, reinvented hoodies, beard oils, and so much more (a suit you can also work out in, anyone?) that comes across our desks every month offers plenty of fresh menswear finds worth shouting out. But only a select few of those are worthy of obsessed status. We're talking about the new wares that offer something everyone else isn't already, from office-ready wardrobe staples to streamlined watches and a bucket hat worth getting excited about. Here's what we're obsessed with this month.

Polo Ralph Lauren camel hair coat

There are camel coats and then there's Ralph's camel coat. It's the undisputed champion of gentlemanly outerwear that's also kind of badass. It looks good with everything, dresses up anything, and hasn't gone out of style in the last four decades, which helps when you're shelling out four figures for a single garment.

Supreme striped knit polo shirt

If you need further proof that Supreme has conquered the fashion world, just check out Paul McCartney sporting this excellent polo with the same level of swagger as any 16-year-old hypebeast in a box logo hoodie.

Todd Snyder houndstooth pleated trousers

Give your Dickies the day off and opt for these subtly patterned made-in-N.Y.C. trousers instead. They're slightly dressier, but will pair up nicely with everything in your fall wardrobe (just like your go-to workwear khakis).

Wacko Maria Jamaican floral print Hawaiian shirt

It may not be summer in this hemisphere any longer but the aloha shirt still reigns supreme. Wacko Maria's just-wacky-enough spin on the slouchy menswear staple looks great alone but even better under a black suit—as Jayson Tatum proves in the October issue.

Movado ultra slim watch

The watch world is going off right now, due in part to a slew of new releases hitting the market, the return of more than a few beloved silhouettes, and technological advances that are making timepieces lighter, slimmer, and bells-and-whistes-ier than ever before. This Movado falls into that latter camp but boasts a classic dressy black-and-gold design that's as timeless as they come.

Levi's "High Ball" slim-fit jeans

It may be the Golden Age of Pants right now, but there's still room for a great pair of jeans in every guy's wardrobe so long as the ones in question come stonewashed and in fashion's favorite "updated Costco dad" cut (which these very much do).

J.Crew Ludlow pinstripe bouclé wool blend suit jacket

Thanks to a bouclé fabric (fashion talk for a textured yarn), slim cut, and bleach white stripes, this version from J.Crew feels more "sprezzy Italian playboy" than "corporate banker bro," which is exactly what you want from a pinstripe suit in 2018.

H&M Morris & Co. patterned shirt

H&M teamed up with Morris & Co. to use some of the legendary house's wallpaper and fabric designs on shirts, hoodies, pants, and more. The pattern on this button-up is equal parts folksy and psychedlic, which means you could wear it under a blazer to work or untucked and barely buttoned for a sweaty night out.

Adidas Yung 1

If there's one chunky runner that's cut across the hypebeast, high fashion, and clueless menswear crowds, it's undoubtedly this sneaker. It's also the best anchor for this season's baggier, looser trousers, especially in its all-white iteration.

A.P.C. washed denim jacket

When GQ's Clay Skipper was on the hunt for the perfect jean jacket, he discovered the first rule of denim outerwear: Simple is best. And A.P.C.'s stock-in-trade is menswear that appears simple, despite every stitch, arm hole, and pocket has been placed with brain-surgeon-level attention to detail, which makes this the perfect simple denim jacket.

Rick Owens cropped cargo pant

The chances of John Jeremiah Sullivan's Rick Owens profile turning you into a drapey layer-loving acolyte of the designer are high, so might we suggest your first acquisition be this very Owens twist to a standard issue cargo pant.

Vince stay pressed pants

Patrik Ervell's first Vince collection is finally here and its stocked with the kind of ten-degrees-twisted menswear on which he built his namesake brand. The results—just like these pants—are wearable and essential without falling into too basic territory.

AllSaints "Clay" creepers

It's hard to find creepers that aren't too high, too bulky, nor too extreme for everyday life. These strike the perfect balance between polish and punk, so much so that you could easily get away with sporting them at the office (I do).

Club Monaco suede trucker jacket

The trick to wearing a trucker jacket as luxe as this one is to treat it like your go-to denim jacket and throw it over everything in your closet. The only difference is more people will want to pet you with this version on your back.

If you need further proof that Supreme has conquered the fashion world, just check out Paul McCartney sporting this excellent polo with the same level of swagger as any 16-year-old hypebeast in a box logo hoodie.

Prada logo bucket hat

Give your Dickies the day off and opt for these subtly patterned made-in-N.Y.C. trousers instead. They're slightly dressier, but will pair up nicely with everything in your fall wardrobe (just like your go-to workwear khakis).

Acne Studios Fjällräven anorak

It may be the Golden Age of Pants right now, but there's still room for a great pair of jeans in every guy's wardrobe so long as the ones in question come stonewashed and in fashion's favorite "updated Costco dad" cut (which these very much do).
